Persecution.

We are seeing the last stages of persecution of gay and lesbian people.

Several countries are considering the death penalty for gay sex.

And many other countries enforce jail terms and ostracism.

Even in Australia where gay marriage is now legal there are religious groups calling for expulsion and threatening us with hell.

So the battle is not yet won.

It will be over when the last bastions of homophobia overcome their fears and accept equal rights for gay and lesbian people.

LGBT+ people are still persecuted in our world.

I pray that this will come to an end.
